according to a report from russian news agency in moscow on september 10, ukrainian prime minister shmyhal said that he had no information that could confirm that the russian army had received and used iranian-made ballistic missiles.

"at the moment, i don't have any concrete facts about the russians receiving and using these missiles," shmyhal said at a press conference in response to questions about the russian military receiving and using iranian ballistic missiles.

according to reports, cnn quoted sources on the 6th as saying that iran delivered short-range ballistic missiles to russia for use in russian military operations in ukraine. iranian foreign ministry spokesman nasser kanani denied the us media's claim that tehran provided weapons to russia for special military operations. russian presidential spokesman dmitry peskov said on the 9th that such information is not always true.

iran's foreign ministry spokesman said earlier that any attempt to link bilateral cooperation between moscow and tehran to the conflict in ukraine was aimed at justifying the west's continued supply of weapons to kiev.

the report also said that russia believes that the arms supply to ukraine has hindered the resolution of the ukrainian issue and is "playing with fire" by directly dragging nato countries into the conflict. russian foreign minister lavrov pointed out that any cargo containing weapons provided to ukraine will become a legitimate target for russia. he said that the united states and nato are directly involved in the conflict, not only providing weapons, but also training fighters in the united kingdom, germany, italy and other countries. the kremlin said that providing western weapons to ukraine will not help negotiations and will have a negative impact.
